Features
Decoration for a child differs from adult accessories, first of all, by durability, usability and safety for health. That is why noble, hypoallergenic materials - silver and gold are chosen for children's accessories. They do not cause allergies, they look beautiful, practical in care, durable.
The gold chain for children must be durable, have a comfortable length for the child and a rather simple weave. After all, most often it is bought as a supplement to a small cross or a nominal pendent. This applies primarily to young children.
More original weaving options are suitable for decorating chains for an older girl. Hollow chains are very lightweight and therefore affordable. They will not cause discomfort in a sock even to the smallest children, but they do not differ in high durability. The links are rather fragile, and it will be very difficult to restore such a decoration. This moment must be taken into account when purchasing.
Children's jewelry usually differs from an adult in more democratic cost. A child can break a chain or lose, so there is no point in giving a baby a very expensive thing.
The children's accessory should not be too long so that the child does not accidentally get confused or caught in it during the game.
Types and models
Children's chains differ from each other, above all, by the type of weaving.
Most often, this is a classic:
- anchor weaving with perpendicular arrangement of links in the chain;
- armored weaving (links made of one or several rings are inserted into each other);
- rhombus (links made in the form of a rhombus are inserted into each other);
- rope (rope weave);
- spikelet, spit.
Chains with a simple weave, as a rule, are distinguished by high strength and durability. They do not cling to the clothes and hair of the child, do not get confused and do not twist. They are convenient to clean, if necessary.
For girls of adolescence and older, you can choose an ornament with a more intricate and complex type of weave. For example, the links of the chain with weaving “Rose” look very similar to this beautiful flower. And weaving Love consists of links in the form of elegant hearts.
Chains with Byzantine, ribbon, Florentine and other types of weaving look very beautiful and feminine.
Interesting and unusual looks and weaving "Pearl" - tiny golden balls-pearls. This option is very well suited for children's jewelry.
Children's chains can be worn by themselves or be supplemented with pendants. Flowers, butterflies, hearts, letters, images of animals, toys and other motifs are often used as pendants for children. Chains for teenage girls and young girls can be complemented with precious and semiprecious stones.
Tips for choosing
When choosing a gold chain for your child, it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:
- Weaving. The smaller the child, the simpler and stronger the weave should be. Ideal weaving - anchor, armored, "Nonna".
- Weight and length. The chain for the child should not be too heavy and long.The optimal length is equal to twice the circumference of the child's neck in centimeters.
- Kind of fastener. The clasp should be not only reliable, but also safe for the health of the child. A carabiner or another lock should have a cut so that in the event of a sharp jerk the mount simply straightens and releases the child’s neck.
- Quality. Jewelry is best purchased in large, proven jewelry stores. Self-respecting manufacturing companies provide their products with a full package of necessary documentation confirming its high quality. The chain must have a sample confirming the purity of the metal.
- The presence of decorative ornaments. Accessories for children should be as simple and concise as possible. Superfluous details, difficult locks and types of weaving, big weight will cause a small child only discomfort and inconvenience when moving or playing.
What to wear?
If the chain is used as an addition to the cross, then such a decoration is worn almost constantly. Accessory in this case should be as simple, easy and durable.
Ornament with intricate weaving or with the addition of precious stones is worn as a decoration for evening wear. This can be a beautiful dress or an elegant set of a top with a skirt.
If other decorations are used in the image, all of them should be combined in material, color and design.
